Questions from Binsted
Can you roast near the sea around Binsted?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What do you need from the organiser?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. Power helps for lighting.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
For event organisers in Binsted
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Make the stall easy to find
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
What affects the price in Binsted
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Menu choices and extras
